I NEED ADVICE ABOUT MY DOGGIES

[SHEWHY81]

  I HAVE TO PITBULLS, ONE OF THEM IS A ALL AMERICAN BLUE NOSE AND THE OTHER IS A RED NOSE BRINDLE. WELL MY BRINDLE HAS THIS QUARTER SIZE LUMP ON HER BELLY THAT HAS ME REALLY WORRIED. :- I HAVE SET HER UP FOR AN APPT NEXT WEEK BUT HAS ANY ONE EXPERIENCED THIS WITH THEIR PETS OR HAVE A CLUE AS TO WHAT IT COULD BE.

I have a black lab and we haven't had anything like that but if it has you that worried I wouldn't wait a week for you to see the vet. Go to an emergency clinic or something like that. We personally have Angel seen at Banfield inside our local pet smart and they are open till 7 or so each day. Best of luck and hopefully it isn't anything to serious.

I have labs and both of them have had cysts on their bodies from time to time.  Normally, these cysts are just fluid-filled sacs and are harmless.  However, you never know until you get the dog to the vet for a look-see.

Does your doggie let you touch that lump at all?  Can you feel it to see if it is soft or hard?

I would get to the vet ASAP, it could be a number of things from a fat ball to a tumor.  Good luck.
